    It amazes me how much the MP412 looks exactly like a 458 from this angle.

    Imitation is the best form of flattery I suppose.

    I wonder why the design cues of cars aren't subject to the same idiotic patents and disputes as smartphone cues such as rounded corners. E.g. I see the VW Passat (2000 style) shapes in many cars, esp. Ford. It doesn't seem to stifle competition at all and certainly saves companies a lot of $ in lawyers fees.

    I was wondering the same thing, seems rather strange, especially the simple posts like +1 or nice show as though there wasn't much to say but wanted to post something random, and no posts since 2010 then last night posted a out a dozen times. WTF???

    Maybe some sort of spambot?

    Maybe putting the car away for the winter triggers memory lane.

    Chris, are you going on the drive today?

    Spotted a Diablo 6.0 on a driveway of a lakside mansion with a party going on tonight in Oakville.

    And yesterday ran into the white/black stripe LP640 on Mississauga road and Dundas.

    There's a lot more to see and discuss on Fchat than yet-another-ooo-i-saw-a-ferrari-on-the-road :) The other threads were lonely and obviously needed some tender care. It's a bit like reading a newspaper article where they tell you about lets say an arrest but you never seem to hear about the court case. We can't let that type of editorial neglect affect FerrariChat.
    In fact, I might just re-subscribe, I am having that much fun here.

    That would be 41.275mm then

    Gerrit, who is trying to decide whether to focus on using metric or imperial for his machining hobby.

    Yes, its a perfect family vehicle...sure beats a grand caravan!

    You also notice alot of the new F12 in the FF front end, but I am not a fan of black on this car, it looks like the batmobile.

    I saw a black FF parked on Davenport near Avenue road. I dont doubt its performance. But what a trainwreck design.

    Rick, save your dough and buy a 2002 BMW Z3 coupe. You'll get that 'boot' look for a fraction of the price. Probably more rare too. Just think how many boxes of cookies you can then buy...
